Pistamentuccia
About
Pistamentuccia is a bustling Roman‑style restaurant and pizzeria nestled in the heart of Bologna. Chef‑owner Flavio Cipriani brings authentic Roman culinary traditions—rigorously sourced ingredients, slow‑leavened dough, and classic recipes like carbonara, amatriciana and cacio e pepe—to a warm, modern setting. The menu is divided between a gourmet ristorante with a small yet elegant dining room, and a lively pizzeria that serves wood‑oven baked Roman pizza straight from the slab. Guests enjoy the same high‑quality, convivial atmosphere, whether they’re sampling a rich soup, relishing a hearty pasta, or savoring a slice of pizza topped with locally sourced cheese and tomatoes. The restaurant offers a relaxed lunch window from 12:30‑15:00 and dinner from 19:30‑23:00, while the pizzeria stays open a little earlier from 11:00‑21:00 (21:30 on Saturdays). Pistamentuccia’s friendly staff, generous portions and welcoming ambience make it a top choice for families, couples and food lovers looking to indulge in genuine Roman cuisine without leaving the city of Bologna.
